About Peace

Based out of Birmingham, England, Peace create drifting, melodic indie rock that merges the crawling atmosphere of classic post-punk with the pop-oriented bounce of modern bands like Vampire Weekend and The Maccabees. Formed by brothers Harrison and Samuel Koisser, on vocals/guitar and bass, respectively, as well as guitarist Douglas Castle and drummer Dominic Boyce, the band came together under the name Peace in 2010 before gaining recognition among the U.K. press with its debut outing, the Delicious EP, which was released on Columbia in 2012. A full-length effort, In Love, followed in early 2013. The Jim Abbiss-produced record was well-received, reaching the Top 20 of the U.K. Charts, and the quartet set out on a U.K. tour later that year. In 2014 they confirmed work had started on their sophomore album, and lead single “Money” was aired on the radio mid-way through the year, as well as supporting The Libertines at Alexandra Palace for their reunion show. They again worked with Abbiss on Happy People, which appeared in 2015. ~ Gregory Heaney & Scott Kerr
